  3. Go to your wallet and choose to add funds.
  4. Select ACH or wire transfer as the funding method.
  5. Enter the amount and confirm the transfer.

What You Can Do With Wallet Funds

If a Bank Transfer Fails

  • Confirm your bank account is added and verified in OnlineCheckWriter.
  • Check that you have sufficient funds in your bank account.
  • Contact OnlineCheckWriter support if the transfer does not complete.
